How This Works & The Math Behind It

Significant figures (or sig figs) are the meaningful digits in a number that contribute to its precision. The rules are strict:

  • Non-zero digits are always significant (e.g., 45 has 2).
  • Captive zeros between non-zero digits are always significant (e.g., 405 has 3).
  • Leading zeros are NEVER significant; they are just placeholders (e.g., 0.045 has 2).
  • Trailing zeros are significant ONLY if the number contains a decimal point (e.g., 45.00 has 4, but 4500 typically only has 2).

This strictly client-side tool parses your input character-by-character to determine mathematical validity without passing your data to an external server.
